The Pridotkų hillfort, located near Žiežmariai in Western Lithuania, dates back to the 1st to 2nd century AD. Its defenses include a wall, part of which collapses into a 2-meter deep ditch, and a 6-meter wide platform. The larger part of the wall slopes towards the Vajos river. Archaeological research conducted in 1953 and 1971 by the Historical Institute unveiled interesting findings, such as burnt and shattered ceramics and artifacts excavated from a 0.5 hectare campus within the hillfort's 7,000 square meters.
